One of the Demon owners who like to spend plenty of time at the drag strip is YouTuber Demonology, whose red Mopar machine has already built a solid reputation on the world wide web.

And the latest video delivered by the gearhead shows the Demon duking it out with an army of Chevrolet Corvettes. As you can imagine, the 2019 ZR1 is on the list, while the Z06 badge is also here.

Oh, and you shouldn't expect these battles to be limited to the current C7 incarnation of the Corvette and that's because modded incarnations of the C6-gen 'Vette are also included.

Despite the Demon showcasing its might on the strip, we need to mention that the HEMI wielder has yet to deliver on its 9.65s quarter-mile promise.

In fact, the best 1,320-foot times achieved by Dodge Demon owners to date sits at around 9.9 seconds. The explanations delivered by various drag racing aficionados revolve around the atmospheric conditions.

And we've been told to wait for the fall, with the cooler weather expected to allow the Dodge Challenger Demon to hit the 1/4-mile number mentioned above.

Meanwhile, there are a few Demons out there that have been modded. In fact, we're about to check out a first, namely such as Challenger being fitted with a nitrous setup, the kind that allows a complex dosage.

As for how such hardware changes translate into chronograph numbers, the said Demon is currently engaged in the race for the 8s run. For the record, no Demon, regardless of its state, has gone below the 9s mark so far.
